​Next month’s tip will cover the finer points of how to wind cakes and balls from skeins.  Anna also said if anyone has a tip to share or request, please reach out.

Due to the enthusiastic participation in our Show and Tell portion of the meeting, Kimberly said the Board is hoping to put in some parameters to help us remain within our overall time limits: Each member is requested to show one item (or set), keep to one minute and cover a brief description of the yarn, pattern and any alterations. This month’s fantastic items were produced by the below knitters. What a treat to see all this eye candy!

Puddletown Knitters Guild Board Chair Kimberly Williams (sporting a beautiful Meditations shawl, which was this year’s Mystery Knit Along for the annual Rose City Yarn Crawl) convened the March 2021 meeting, which debuted a truly inspiring video presentation by Native Knits designer Jennifer Berg. Kimberly thanked everyone who has paid their annual dues, issued a gentle reminder to those who still have it on their To-Do List  and announced that the Board has decided to keep the meetings in virtual format via Zoom through October. This allows the Guild to book speakers from farther away than normal, a benefit to help offset the loss of shared in-person time.  

Many thanks to those who have already made items for the Winter Warmth Drive (this year's charity knitting for Rose Haven women’s shelter), and finished projects continue to roll in, which is wonderful. If you are doing paired items (mittens, socks, etc.) it would be great to put them together in a clear bag or pin them together so the mates don’t get lost. Our sister guild in Uganda was recently given help from USAID to sell their items through the internet. They will receive our gifted needles as soon as Kathryn Gearheard is able to travel with them.  

The 1:00 PM afternoon slots for April 17 and 24 are still available for Jennifer Berg’s Mixing of Cultures stranded colorwork class, but going fast! Jen’s work will also be offered at the Native Knits trunk show April 1-4 hosted by Weird Sisters. There will be a virtual show with Jennifer on April 1st via zoom to kick it off.  Weird Sisters also has a spring Knit Along (KAL) featuring  Anker’s Summer Shirt by Petite Knit (done in a light DK yarn) set for March 17, 31, and April 14. The Knitted Wit has announced a Springtime KAL with kits available now and KAL itself starting on March 20.   

Call for Sock Test Knitters. Abstract Fiber seeks 3-4 experienced sock knitters or adventurous beginners, and they will supply the pdf pattern and yarn. Contact abstractfiber@gmail.com for more information.  

Our Member Tip this month looked at Stash Organization. Anna took us through several good ways to keep our yarn sorted, including by weight, project, fiber, brand, and color. Anna personally uses categories of yarn:  sock yarn, mini-skeins, left over bits of yarn, yarn already designated for projects (kits, etc.) and general yarn all kept in bins, and then places recent acquisitions throughout the house to gaze at and consider the possibilities! We thank Kerry Elenitoba-Johnson for sharing the Closet Organizers and Kimberly Williams the Fabric Cubes methods they use and imagine that one day soon our stashes, too, might just be better organized.

Bonus Member Tip: drawing from the Vogue Live knitting class with Lili Chin, Anna shared this rule of thumb for determining appropriate needle size: take intended yarn, fold it double and see which size needle matches it best by looping it through a needle gauge guide with holes.

Next month’s Member tip: swatch motivation. How do you get yourself in the right frame of mind to do a proper swatch before commencing a project? Anna welcomes suggestions from members who have tackled this.

The centerpiece of the March meeting was the must-see video produced by Native Knits designer Jennifer Berg.  Jen, who draws inspiration from her Dine/Navajo cultural background, took us on a tour of her birthplace, showing us the sights and colors that feature prominently in her work. Jen noted that while her designs are based on traditional themes, she often puts a contemporary twist on them. Above all, she uses the knit pieces to tell a story of the Navajo people’s continued existence, strength, and resilience. “We are still here,” she noted. 

Jen also gave us a window into her family’s heritage and traditions and linked them to the patterns and symbols that she incorporates in her knitwear. We got a glimpse of the art and craft-filled interior of Chee’s Indian Store, which has been in Jen’s family for four generations, and also learned about their philosophy to employ Navajos and provide livelihoods for the community. Jen spoke to us about the distinction between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation, and how we can avoid the former and embody the latter, but she emphasized that her goal is to encourage people’s curiosity about not just the Navajo, but all the Native Americans and their traditions.      

Jenn has kindly offered a 20% discount to PKG members. She also gave us a preview of her stunning new design, the Sheep Camp Sweater, which is due to be released later in March.  

Congratulations to this month's raffle prize winners! 

Mark your calendars for next month’s meeting on April 8 with Carson Demers of Ergo, I Knit, who will provide tips to knitting longevity and comfort.  ​

Our Jennifer Berg event is coming up! Colorwork classes over zoom! Registration will be in your email soon.

Member Tips with Anna:
Knitting with your eyes closed! (or at least not looking at your knitting). You can do it! All it takes is a little practice and Anna talked about why, what, and how you would start doing this. Why? Maybe you like those Swedish mystery television shows and have to put down your knitting to read the subtitles, maybe you want to impress your friends. Whatever the reason you CAN do it. 
The first thing to consider is WHAT you are knitting. Don't try to do intense colorwork, any lace, or cables. Shoot for plain knitting, plain purling, or ribbing. 

How to start: start by closing your eyes for a little longer than a blink. Then longer and longer stretches. Choose a particular part of the stitch to close them and then peek. Just keep practicing and soon you too can take your knitting to the movie theater (when they open up again). Tip: explosions are good excuses to pick up stitches you may have dropped; at the opera you may choose to just fix your mistakes later (there are not many explosions at the opera).

Next were some book recommendations from Anna and others:
The Vampire Knitting Club by Nancy Warren recommended by Kimberly
Cast On, Bind Off by Leslie Ann Bestor recommended by Julie
Knitting Rules by SPM recommended by Anna
The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns by Ann Budd recommended by Anna
The Principles of Knitting by June Hemmons Hiatt recommended by Anna
​

Next Month (March), we will be talking about yarn organization!

Sharon introduced our February speakers: Kristine Vejar and Adrienne Rodriguez, the authors of the book Journeys in Natural Dyeing.

Kristine and Adrienne came to our meeting from their shop, A Verb for Keeping Warm, in Oakland, California. Adrienne started with a land acknowledgment before she and Kristine showed us the production dye studio, educational dye garden, and retail space. Kristine talked about their journey to understand both the natural fibers and dyes and where they originate from. It's not as simple to use natural dyes and get a rainbow of colors, especially since the processes are often passed from generation to generation and not written down. But it is possible and Kristine and Adrienne have been working on books to explain what they discovered in order to make natural dyeing more accessible. If you want to go natural, you can get natural dyeing extracts, which are highly concentrated powders, as well as using the plants themselves. Kristine explained what colors various plants can create and the methods that they used to dye several fibers, as well as discussing how in different regions, different plant life can be used. They showed us glorious pictures from their latest book and the plethora of colors you can get with only natural dyes, as well as techniques to alter colors from the same dye source.

The presentation ended with a variety of questions, from simple to complex. We are thrilled that they came and shared so much knowledge with our guild.

We ended the meeting with show and tell and the raffle. Our knitters have been productive and have created some beautiful things. ​

It will be great to see you next month for Jennifer Berg!!!!

Next Month’s Tip theme is: What book(s) should knitters know about? Email your recommendations to info@puddletownknittersguild.com. Also: if you have any tips that you would hope that Anna would cover please send them along as she is putting together the tip calendar for 2021.

Sharon introduced the evening's speaker: Cecelia Campochiaro. Cecelia is the author of two books. They cover playing with color and texture and are available here from Schoolhouse Press. Cecelia is from California. The theme of the talk was “Knitting Beautiful Fabric with a thoughtful Process”. Fabric has an underlying logic and architecture, and when you understand that you can be more free in your crafting. 

First Cecelia talked about sequence knitting which is using knits and purls in sequence to create texture. She talked about different ways that you can change fabric with shapes and texture by changing the sequence of knitting it or changing the amount of stitches cast on in relation to the sequence. If you have a sequence that is 6 stitches long, and you cast on a multiple of 6, you'll get one texture. If you cast on 6+1, or 6+2, or 6+3 and knit the same sequence, you'll get three entirely different textures.

Second Cecelia talked about marling. Marling is a yarn, a fabric, and an action. You can control color in knitting by knitting with multiple strands of different colors. Cecelia mentioned visiting Vivian Høxbro (who has written Domino Knitting, Shadow Knitting, and other books) and when talking about variegated yarn, Viven told Cecelia, she didn’t like variegated because she wanted to put the color where she wanted the color. She didn’t want the yarn to do it for her. In marling, you put the color where you want the color.

The history and inspiration of marling Cecelia ​talked about is fascinating. Marianne Isager is a modern marl knitting designer; She innovated a marl that looks like newsprint. Setsuko Torii also added much to the development of marling in knitting. Kaffe Fassett's Glorious Knits was the first time that Cecelia ever saw really complicated colorwork knits. Stephen West marls with handpainted yarns. Anna Maltz's book Marlisle: A New Direction in Knitting, combines marling and Fair Isle.

One of the major reasons to marl is to get more colors. Knitters are usually limited by the yarns that can be purchased. Cecelia always want more colors. Making marls makes more colors. Microswatching is a method Cecelia uses to be able to see how the yarns she has chosen will look in different combinations. Cecelia broke down the nitty gritty of how to calculate yarn weights of yarns knit double, as they are when marling. She also gave tips on how to wind the yarn in preparation for marling.

All in all it was a great talk and the classes Cecelia is teaching for the guild at the end of the month should be fun!

​As always, it was wonderful to see more pictures from members' projects for our virtual show and tell.

​The December meeting marked an important milestone, the official transition from the outgoing Puddletown Knitters Guild Board to the new. Margaret Weddell noted that we have successfully come through a difficult year together, and wished everyone a happy holiday season, according to their beliefs, and spoke about how our Guild has been built upon principles of inclusivity and compassion, which are more important now than ever. Margaret then turned the meeting over to incoming Chair Kimberly Williams.

Kimberly commended Guild members for their dedication in making 147 toys sent to the organization Butterfly Boxes for area refugee children. Charity knitting is its own reward, but to make it even better there was a raffle for participants, and enthusiastic toy-maker Susan Plack won the drawing of yarn. Ann Howell’s noteworthy contribution of 34 bears and mermaids was also recognized with an appreciation prize. Congratulations Susan and Ann and thank you to everyone who crafted toys!

Kimberly noted the outstanding contributions of outgoing Board members Margaret Weddell (Board Chair), Natalie Sass (Secretary/Treasurer), Annette Caughman (Programs Chair) and Kim Winter (Volunteer Coordinator and Programs Co-chair). Zoom didn’t allow us to rise for a standing ovation, but the comments reflected our deep appreciation. We still need a Programs Co-Chair, so anyone interested in helping with special events like classes, annual brunch/destash party, as well as supporting monthly speakers, please contact events@puddletownknittersguild.com. 

The 2021 Membership Drive is now ongoing, and an early bird discount price of $30 is offered to those who renew or join by Dec. 31, 2020. After that, the normal price of $35 will apply.

Pre-COVID, the Free Table was a highlight of our monthly meetings, and a new discussion thread Virtual Free Table has been started on Ravelry for those able to access it. The idea is one way to allow sharing of items, but still relies on individuals to practice social distancing, mask-wearing, and safety measures.

Do you want to be a test knitter or do commission knitting? The Guild is often contacted by designers and others in need of knitters, so let us know if you would like your name and contact information to be added to the list.

We have an exciting upcoming speaker and virtual workshop: acclaimed designer Cecilia Campochiaro will present an introduction to Sequence Knitting and Making Marls at our January 14 meeting, where you can hear about sequence knitting, marls as colorwork, and Cecelia’s journey from high tech to knitting-book author. There will also be a three-part Zoom class exploring Marls and Color, with registration (fee $40) opening Jan. 3, 2021 for members in good standing. Classes will take place Jan. 30, Feb 6, and Feb. 13, with a class size max of 20 people. Required materials, which can be done using stash yarn, are heavy lace weight yarn of six different colors. There will be a Ravelry page to help coordinate group yarn acquisition, given that only around 75 yards is required of each color. We also have been granted a 20% discount on Cecilia’s books at Schoolhouse Press, using promo code Puddletown Knitters. 

If you are missing interaction with PKG members, consider dropping in on the Virtual Knit nights held weekly via Zoom on Tuesdays from 6 to 8 PM. The link changes weekly and can be found on the Events page of the website.

Anna Lorton’s Member Tips for December featured the Kitchener Stitch, aka grafting, which is a nifty technique for attaching two pieces of fabric together. Anna presented different ways to do it, and next month’s member tip will cover the dreaded appearance of ladders, and how to avoid them when using double-pointed needles.

Our featured speaker for December was Lori Patterson of Abstract Fiber, who spoke on understanding yarn through hand spinning. Lori believes that hand spinning your own yarn is positively the best way to understand yarn, and when you understand yarn you can genuinely make your knitted projects truly your own. By way of background, Lori shared that she went to an arts focused high school, Emerson College, and art school in Atlanta, prior to arriving in Portland. In 2018, she purchased Abstract Fiber and since then has been producing intense color through hand painted skeins of yarn. She calls hand painting a slow, peaceful, reflective process.

Spinning is something that Lori discovered almost by accident while she was at the Yarn Garden. She showed us her first spinning wheel, and gave us a glimpse at her extensive collection of spinning wheels and spindles. Lori likes to think of spinning as an extension of knitting. Most knitters think of it as a meditative process, and spinning adds the empowering feeling of making your own yarn, which gives you a sense of value that is beyond what can be derived from commercial yarn.

Lori noted that spinning allows you to make the yarn you want to knit in terms of color, weight/gauge. You can explore different breeds of yarn-producing sheep, other animals and even plants. Lori gave us an overview of the types of equipment involved in spinning, such as the drum carder, niddy noddy, control card, types of wheels, and also shared a list of websites for wheels and equipment including https://woolery.com/, https://www.paradisefibers.com/, www.etsy.com, https://www.dreamingrobots.com/, and https://www.heavenlyhandspinning.com/, as well as Ravelry. She also showed us spindles and how they are used and recommend the sites, https://bosworthspindles.com/, https://www.snyderspindles.com/, https://yarntools.com/ (Jenkins), and https://www.akerworks.com/. Having given us that whirlwind tour of spinning equipment, Lori then demonstrated actual spinning, and showed us techniques for drafting, controlling the size, ratios, twist, and treading.

Lori shared a helpful hint to practice with commercial yarn before you actually start spinning and also demonstrated spindle spinning. Her last slide contains great magazine and book recommendations, including the Fleece and Fiber sourcebook, reference book Yarnitecture, https://plymagazine.com/, and https://spinoffmagazine.com/, as well as YouTube.

All these links and a few more are consolidated here.

Happy 3rd Birthday to us! Next birthday, when we are back together in person, we will have two cakes to celebrate!

We approved the minutes for last month's official membership meeting, which introduced nominees for select Puddletown Board positions. After the minutes were approved, we voted in our new Board members.

We now have a virtual free table on our Ravelry forum. Post what you have to share, browse what is available, or post an item you need. It's not the same as the free table at the meetings, but better than nothing. 

Anna shared her camera setup with us and the trials she went through to get to the current iteration. In the beginning, her genius led to balancing her phone on a yardstick supported by boxes on either end. Now she uses a tripod with a camera attachment.

Stitch markers galore! Anna shared many different types of stitch markers. I bet you will learn a new use for stitch markers or something new to use as a stitch marker. Watch the video below and stay tuned next month for tips on the Kitchener Stitch and grafting.​

This month, Kay Hopkins of Knit for the Soul joined us to discuss the benefits of knitting top down sweaters. The primary benefit is the ability to try on a sweater as you knit it, so you have no surprises when you've finished the sweater. Kay suggests checking on the fit of your sweater a few rows before the arm divide, a few rows after the arm divide, at your true waist (the smallest part of your abdomen), and before the hem (usually ribbing). You can also check in on the fit by laying the sweater in progress against a sweater that fits you well to see how it compares. Common fit problems can usually be addressed and Kay recommends reaching out the designer to see if they have any ideas. In her own designs, Kay favors a hybrid yoke for a good universal fit. She combines circular yoke designs with a bit of raglan increases.
​
Bonus tip from Kay: bind off sleeve cuffs after you have blocked the sweater as sleeves tend to grow even when the rest of the sweater doesn’t. As a newish sweater knitter, this has happened to me. Thanks, Kay, for sharing your passion for knitting and the PNW, as well as your expertise on sweater knitting.

See you all next month.

Next month, bring us your stitch marker tips and tricks. Don’t forget, Anna, our Tip Czar, welcomes you to demonstrate a tip or just share the idea for her to present to the guild. 

We welcomed back our first ever speaker this month, Michele Bernstein, a.k.a. PDXKnitterati. She started off her lecture on blocking with a poll. 39% of the audience said they always block, 34% said they usually block, 19% said sometimes, 7% said never, and 4% said “What’s blocking?” Even Michele had to be convinced to block and she presented three cases of sweater care gone awry. 

Blocking is the process of treating your knit or crocheted item with moisture and shaping. You can do this by steaming, or washing and air drying, usually flat, in the desired shape. Blocking allows wool and silk fibers to bloom, cotton and linen fibers to soften, and stitches to even out and set into the fabric you created. It is especially important in opening up lacework and for colorwork and cables to truly shine. Some tips for the process:

• Treat a sweater swatch as you will the finished sweater. I.E. don’t stretch the swatch to the extreme if you don’t want to do that every time you wash your sweater. Base your gauge on the blocked swatch.
• Clipping your ends after you block helps keep them hiding in the back.
• Block hats flat, or on bowls, balloons or even plates for special shaping.
• Don’t block the ribbing on sweater pieces, to keep its stretchy nature.
• If your item is drying too quickly for you to get it wired and pinned in place, use a squirt bottle to re-moisten.
• Just because the yarn label says you can put it in the dryer, doesn’t mean you should! Again, experiment on a swatch, not your finished object.

Thanks, Michele, for a great presentation!

We were happy that again several people sent in pictures of their finished projects for the virtual show and tell.

​Enjoy knitting weather until we see each other again. ​

Next month, the theme is all things cables. Do you have tips on how to work with cable charts, how to remember the twists, even tools you love to help? Send them to Anna and she’ll work her ma​gic to teach us all something new.

​Our speaker this month was Renate Yerkes, a.k.a. Elphino PDX, who spoke with us a year and a half ago on double knitting. This time she presented the history and style of Selbu mittens. After separating from Sweden in 1905, the Norwegians sought a national identity and used knitting to help them find it. The Selbu mittens became part of their national image after a young girl in Selbu, Norway wore a pair to church featuring the selburose, or eight-pointed rose. Everyone wanted a pair of the striking two color, lush mittens. By the 1930s, Norweigans were knitting 100,000 pairs every year exporting them to surrounding countries. Standards were set to maintain the traditional styling through proportions and the geometry underneath the many motifs.

The mittens offer several areas to customize the design. The cuff can be ribbed for winter sports or lacy for a bride’s trousseau. The top of the hand usually has a larger scale motif, while the  palm generally has a smaller scale repetitive motif. Both sides of the thumb can be different, the underside often bearing initials of a newly wed couple or a family emblem. 

Renate’s favorite needle size for knitting Selbu mittens is a 2.75-3 mm needle, typically she favors ADDI flexiflips for ease of turning the tight corner on each side. A great question was posed about the floats on the inside of the mittens snagging on rings, but Renate said the floats are short and with the thinner yarn and dense fabric created, it isn’t usually a problem. Who else immediately started hunting patterns and yarn to make themselves a pair?

We are thrilled that every month members come forward with wonderful pictures enabling us to keep up with the virtual show and tell.

​Lorilee Beltman joined us from Seattle to present her technique, vertical stranded colorwork, for Puddletown’s first ever hands-on lesson. This style has been her personal knitting playground since 2008. First, she gave us a tour of her studio and showed us samples of vertical stranded colorwork (VSC). 

Unlike other colorwork such as fair isle or mosaic, the contrast color in VSC only exists in that one column of the knitting. It’s an easy way to modify seed stitch or garter stitch to give a pattern your very own flare without losing much stretch. Lorilee focused on cables with us in the hands-on tutorial of her presentation. She was a great teacher, allowing time for us to practice and demonstrating for three different styles of knitting. The main thing to keep in mind was the main color leads and the contrast follows. Also, take the time in the beginning to manage the spaghetti of contrast colors with butterfly knots or chip clips.

Another month, another virtual meeting. It just isn’t the same as seeing your faces, but at least we can be in our jammies.
 
Our first round of stuffed animals was sent to Butterfly Boxes. Adrienne Enriquez updated us on the refugee situation in Portland. As very few refugees are arriving in Portland currently, Butterfly Boxes reached out to their partners to have the stuffed animals delivered to children in families with a member suffering from COVID-19. Keep knitting, crocheting, and sewing stuffed animals. This world needs more love right now. And remember, you can knit clothes for store bought stuffed animals, too.
 
This month Kim Winter filled in for Anna to present member tips. The theme this time was non-knitting tools we use for knitting. There were some good ones. From photo boxes and zippered bags for needle organizing to rubber bands for needle stoppers. We also saw medication organizers for notion storage and stretchy rubber tourniquet material for gripping needles. Any cylinder in your house will work to start winding a ball of yarn. If you like to snack while knitting, use chopsticks or small tongs to grab those Cheetos to keep your fingers and your projects clean. What about a salad spinner to get the excess water out of your washed garments before blocking. It’s hard to pick a favorite of this lot, but I think mine was the needle buddy made of a swatch pinned to your chair for easy storage of your working DPN or crochet hook.

Next month's member tip theme: how to prevent twisting when joining in the round. I can’t wait to see what ingenious ideas you all have.

Mary Mortensen stayed up late and joined us via Zoom from Kansas. Her presentation was all about steeking as well as some of the history of stranded colorwork. Stranded knitting is knitting with at least two colors on a single row where the yarn not in use strands or floats across the back of the work. These strands add a layer of warmth which was highly valued in the northern climates where the technique originated. Fair Isle is a type of stranded knitting using multiple colors made popular by a 1921 portrait of Britain’s King Edward VII sporting a Fair Isle sweater.
 
The intricate patterns created by stranded knitting are easiest when knit in the round and without breaking for arm holes. That’s where a steek is needed. A steek is the bridge of stitches added to the work that allow an opening to be cut without interrupting the stranded colorwork. Mary showed us several examples of these steeks. Steeking is often referred to as the process of actually cutting the knitting.
 
Mary shared many ways to reinforce the edges after you make the cut. Wool is naturally sticky making it a good choice for projects requiring steeking. For other fibers, you can reinforce the edges with a double line of machine sewing or hand sewing. Make sure you pierce the yarn and don’t go between the knit stitches. You can also crochet a line on either side of the column to be cut or even use needle felting techniques.
 
If you are steeking to make a cardigan, you will probably be adding a button band or some kind of edge after you cut the steek. To finish the inside edge, you can sew on bias edging to cover the raw edge. You can pick up stitches along the raw edge and knit a facing that you then tack down.
 
Other tips from Mary included being consistent in how you hold the yarn; the direction the yarn comes from will determine which color dominates; and that your gauge in stranded colorwork will most likely be different from single color stockinette. If your project includes stranded and single colorwork, you should check for the last tip and possibly change needle sizes to keep the gauge even. To achieve a smooth finished piece, avoid puckering by using less slippery wooden needles, or turn your knitting inside out as you knit to give your strands further to travel.
 
For first timers, find a smaller project with only two colors with short floats and short pattern repeats. Think hats or sweaters with the colorwork only in the yoke. And don’t try to add a steek to your first stranded colorwork project. Check out this great group on Ravelry for more tips and a collection of free patterns. Here's a list of other resources from Mary.

Mary did a fabulous job of explaining a difficult technique that would be so much easier in person. Thanks for taking on that challenge! 

​​Once again several people sent in pictures of their finished projects for the virtual show and tell.
